— 3 earlier stories on Gujarat Craft Industries Ltd. →What's new
- Annual revenue fell 9.3% to ₹184.06 crore, down from ₹202.89 crore.
- Net profit plunged 64% to ₹0.97 crore, from ₹2.69 crore a year earlier.
- Board recommended a final dividend of 50 paise per share.
Why this matters
For a company with a market capitalisation of ₹51 crore, this earnings power has halved. The exceptional charge of ₹0.52 crore for labour-code compliance is a small portion of the total profit fall, meaning the core business performance itself weakened considerably.
What we're watching
- Whether the dividend payout can be sustained at this new profit level.
- Management commentary on the non-exceptional drivers of the revenue decline.
- Impact on cash flow and the company's ability to fund operations.
The full read
Gujarat Craft Industries' net profit dropped 64% to ₹0.97 crore for the year ended March 2026. Revenue slipped 9.3% to ₹184.06 crore. The company flagged a one-time ₹0.52 crore charge linked to new labour-code compliance, but that only accounts for about a third of the total profit erosion. For a nano-cap with a market capitalisation of ₹51 crore, this represents a material hit to earnings power. The board still recommended a 50-paise final dividend. The core issue is the underlying business performance, not the one-off charge.
Questions answered

- The analyst rationale states Gujarat Craft Industries has a market capitalisation of ₹51 crore.
